COMMENT ON REGULATIONS This section contains the Legislation Review Committee’s reports on Regulations in accordance with section 9 of the Legislation Review Act 1987. 16 FEBRUARY 2021 iii LEGISLATION REVIEW COMMITTEE Conclusions PART ONE – BILLS 1. GOVERNMENT INFORMATION (PUBLIC ACCESS) AMENDMENT (RECKLESSLY DESTROYING GOVERNMENT RECORDS) BILL 2021* The Committee makes no comment on the Bill in respect of the issues set out in section 8A of the Legislation Review Act 1987. 2. PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AMENDMENT BILL 2021 Trespasses on personal rights and liberties: s 8A(1)(b)(i) of the LRA Significant increase in penalties The Bill significantly increases the maximum penalties for certain offences in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 2012. For the offence of animal cruelty (section 5) the maximum imprisonment term for individuals has been doubled and the maximum fines are eight times higher than the current amounts for both individuals and corporations. For the offence for aggravated cruelty (section 6), the maximum fines for individuals and corporations are five times higher than current amounts. For the offence of failing to provide an animal with food, drink or shelter (section 8), the maximum fines are three times higher. The Committee notes that in November 2020 a similar Bill was introduced in Parliament providing for significant increases in penalties for offences under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 2012. In the Committee's Legislation Review Digest No.24, the Committee reviewed the provisions of that Bill. While acknowledging the Bill's intention of toughening the penalties for animal abuse offences, the Committee referred the increase in penalties to Parliament for its consideration on whether they are reasonable and proportionate. The Committee echoes its position in regard to the significant increase in penalties contained in this Bill. The Committee notes the Bill's intent of providing penalties to serve as a deterrent for animal abuse and to reflect community expectations and standards. However, the increases are significant and it is appropriate to refer the provisions to Parliament for it to consider whether they are reasonable and proportionate. 3. ROAD TRANSPORT LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DRINK AND DRUG DRIVING OFFENCE) BILL 2021 Trespasses on personal rights and liberties: s 8A(1)(b)(i) of the LRA Strict Liability offences with significant penalties The Committee notes that the Bill introduces new strict liability offences for drug and drink driving offences under section 111A, which carry maximum penalties ranging from 30 to 100 penalty units ($3,300 to $11,000) and/or 18 months to 2 years imprisonment, depending on the concentration of alcohol and whether it is a person's first offence. The Committee notes that strict liability offences do not require a mental element (e.g. intent or recklessness) to be proven for a person to be convicted. It is enough that the defendant drove a motor vehicle, and is found to have had an illicit drug in addition to the relevant concentration of alcohol present in their system at the time. The Committee generally comments on strict liability offences as they depart from the common law principle that mens rea, or the mental element, iv DIGEST 26/57 LEGISLATION REVIEW DIGEST is a relevant factor in establishing liability for an offence. This is of particular concern where significant penalties are attached, including the possibility of imprisonment. The Committee notes that strict liability offences are not uncommon in regulatory settings, particularly relating to road safety, to encourage compliance and acknowledges the public safety and deterrence objectives of the Bill. However, given the significant penalties that are attached to the new strict liability offences, including imprisonment, the Committee refers the matter to the Parliament for its consideration. Reversal of onus of proof Proposed section 111A provides for a defence to a second or subsequent combined alcohol and drug driving offence where the defendant can prove, to the court's satisfaction, that the alcohol in their breath or blood was not caused by consuming an alcoholic beverage or another substance used for the purpose of consuming alcohol. Similarly, new clauses 32A and 32B provide that breath, blood, oral fluid and urine tests taken within a specified period of an event occurring are presumed to show the concentration of alcohol or presence of an illicit drug at the time of that event, unless the defendant proves otherwise. These provisions may impact on the defendant's right to be presumed innocent, which is associated with the concept that the prosecution has the burden of proving a charge beyond reasonable doubt. The standard of proof for this defence – 'to the court's satisfaction' – may also provide uncertainty. The Committee notes that the reversed onus of proof for the section 111A defence is in line with the approach to drink driving offences elsewhere in the Act, such as defences to novice drink driving (section 110(9)). Similarly new clauses 32A and 32B resemble existing clauses in Schedule 3 relating to proceedings for separate, pre-existing drug and drink driving offences (sections 110, 111 and 112 of the Act). However, given the significant penalties for these proposed offences (noted above) that may impact procedural fairness by reversing the onus of proof on the defendant, the Committee refers these provisions to the Parliament for their consideration of whether it is reasonable in the circumstances. Mandatory penalties The Bill expands the definition of 'mandatory interlock offence' to include new combined alcohol and drug driving offences under section 111A. Where a court convicts a person for an offences committed under this section, a mandatory interlock order must be made except in limited circumstances, such as where the person does not have access to a vehicle in which to install an interlock device. A person must also be automatically disqualified from holding a drivers licence for 2 to 6 years, with the court's discretion to order a longer or short period (if it thinks fit) with a minimum disqualification period of 12 months to 3 years depending on the offence. The Committee notes that these provisions limit the discretion of the court which convicts a person of an offence against section 111A to determine the appropriate penalty for that offence. However, the Committee acknowledges that mandatory interlocks and disqualification periods can be distinguished from monetary or imprisonment penalties, as they are closely linked to considerations of public safety. The Committee also acknowledges the comments made in the second reading speech about the effectiveness of mandatory interlock programs in reducing the risk of reoffending. In the circumstances, the Committee makes no further comment. 16 FEBRUARY 2021 v LEGISLATION REVIEW COMMITTEE Inappropriately delegates legislative powers: s 8A(1)(b)(iv) of the LRA Commencement by proclamation The Committee generally prefers legislation

  • NSW Premier's Deputy John Barilaro in Bitter Feud Over Powerhouse

Picture: AAP EXCLUSIVE YONI BASHAN NSW POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT @yoni_bashan The NSW government has been engulfed in a bitter feud over $2bn in funding for Sydney-centric infrastructure projects, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s deputy threatening to go public with allegations of wasteful spending unless plans are scrapped and money diverted to the bush. In a sign of escalating tensions within the Coalition over competing city and rural priorities, Deputy Premier John Barilaro has begun vigorously campaigning for cabinet colleagues to drop their commitment to the $1.5bn relocation of the Powerhouse Museum from the inner city to western Parramatta, saying the funding needs to be reallocated to struggling regional communities. Last week, the Nationals leader took the extraordinary step of confiding in Opposition Leader Jodi McKay about his concerns, during a conversation in a Parliament House lift. That has angered colleagues and placed pressure on Ms Berejiklian to rein in the rogue behaviour. The Australian has established that Mr Barilaro told Ms McKay he wanted the museum’s relocation to be cancelled so the money could be diverted to more worthy projects in the regions. Several people were in the lift at the time. Mr Barilaro declined to answer questions about the matter on Tuesday. Ms McKay would not comment on the conversation. The leader of the NSW Nationals is renowned for his forthright opinions, both in public and private settings, although these opinions are not always consistent with each other.

[Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

  • A Labor Government Will 'Civilise the Place', Says Leader Michael Daley
    A Labor government will 'civilise the place', says leader Michael Daley SMH 12 January 2019 Deborah Snow and Alexandra Smith Michael Daley is a self-declared "fish man". Two of the shimmering creatures swim languidly in a small tank in his Parliament House office – the corner suite he took over from Luke Foley when his predecessor flamed out last year. Inside his Maroubra electorate office, his personal study strains to accommodate a five-foot tank, where several venerable specimens are now 20 years old. At home there are more fish (in his young daughter’s bedroom – they’re "forbidden" in the lounge-room), as well as two dogs and a mini rainforest in the backyard populated with frogs, skinks and the odd blue-tongue lizard. Self-confessed "fish man" NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley in his office at Parliament House. CREDIT: DOMINIC LORRIMER Daley’s father John came from dairy farming stock and he was taught from childhood to "treat animals as individuals," he says. "It's a respect for life - I think that's where the fish come from. I like living things, I like creatures, I like the environment." One suspects it takes a particular kind of patience to keep fish alive for two decades – the same patience, perhaps, that allows you to bide your time to become party leader, having played bridesmaid or runner-up for close to eight years. Daley, now 53, was first talked of as possible successor to the state’s last Labor premier, Kristina Keneally, when she led the party to a crushing defeat in 2011.
